This is not a taxation issue. Nor is it a real estate issue. With the BC Government asking for the numbers, but unable to say what they will do with those numbers, this smells more like a way for Government to have more control over our money. More rules = more admin/ employees/taxes for us all. Why not just ask car buyers if they are citizens?

this should have been in place a long time ago , the foreign investment in B.C. is not a new thing . why do banks lend money to foreigners to leverage there investment dollars pushing Canadians out of the market
